Naming of HTML entry page & Flash main page?

Hey Everyone. What is the best way to name the entry non-Flash (HTML) page - the splash or index page, whatever it’s called - that is the gateway to the final Flash site, which will open in a new window? When users type in the basic web URL - for example, http://www.mysite.com - I want them to come upon an entry page that states “Click here for Flash Player 6” and “Enter if you have Flash Player 6”. When the user types in the basic URL should I have the entry page called http://www.mysite.com/index.htm?

One step further… How do I configure things so that when the user comes to the entry page, Flash 6 is automatically detected. Detailed answers will be much appreciated, as well as links to tutorials.

just leave the non flash page as index.html and the flash page you can call it main.html, the index page tells the user what are the requirements to view the site, resolution, browsers, plugins, processor speed etc. etc. i think this is what youre trying to do right?

I’ve got a similar ??

So Grim, ure sayin on ure server you have,

  • index html ( read requirements etc,etc…)

  • main html (begining of flash, preloader screen etc)

  • main SWF (begining of flash, preloader screen etc)

  • level 1 SWF

  • level 2 SWF

  • etc,etc…

Thanks guys. So I assume /index.htm gets read as the homepage before /main.htm? Just to be sure I’ll name the Flash main page /flash.main.htm.

Any ideas how to get both IE and Netscape to detect Flash 6 automatically on Macs and PCs?

peace out -
